The state shall make an annual grant payment to each municipality, to each district, as defined in section 7-325, which is located in a distressed municipality, targeted investment community, enterprise zone or municipality within an airport development zone established pursuant to section 32-75d and to each special services district created pursuant to chapter 105a which is located in a distressed municipality, targeted investment community or enterprise zone in the amount of fifty per cent of the amount of that tax revenue which the municipality or district would have received except for the provisions of subdivisions (59) and (60) of section 12-81 or subdivision (70) of section 12-81. On or before the first day of August of each year, each municipality and district shall file a claim with the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management for the amount of such grant payment to which such municipality or district is entitled under this section. The claim shall be made on forms prescribed by the secretary and shall be accompanied by such supporting information as the secretary may require. Any municipality or district which neglects to transmit to the secretary such claim and supporting documentation as required by this section shall forfeit two hundred fifty dollars to the state, provided the secretary may waive such forfeiture in accordance with procedures and standards adopted by regulation in accordance with chapter 54. The secretary shall review each such claim as provided in section 12-120b. Any claimant aggrieved by the results of the secretary’s review shall have the rights of appeal as set forth in section 12-120b. The secretary shall, on or before the December fifteenth next succeeding the deadline for the receipt of such claims, certify to the Comptroller the amount due under this section, including any modification of such claim made prior to December fifteenth, to each municipality or district which has made a claim under the provisions of this section. The Comptroller shall draw an order on the Treasurer on or before the fifth business day following December fifteenth, and the Treasurer shall pay the amount thereof to each such municipality or district on or before the following December thirty-first. If any modification is made as the result of the provisions of this section on or after the December first following the date on which the municipality or district has provided the amount of tax revenue in question, any adjustment to the amount due to any municipality or district for the period for which such modification was made shall be made in the next payment the Treasurer shall make to such municipality or district pursuant to this section. In the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2003, and in each fiscal year thereafter, the amount of the grant payable to each municipality and district in accordance with this section shall be reduced proportionately in the event that the total amount of the grants payable to all municipalities and districts exceeds the amount appropriated.
